Just in case you have never been on the fox forums, "AKA" The Boneyard, and are confused here is exactly what the project is all about. We are simply creating a hand made book of appreciation to the cast/crew of the show. How it originated is that fans who are members at the fox.com/bones forum wanted a way to celebrate our upcoming goal of 100,000 posts on the forum. We heard about the book that was made for David Boreanaz, a book of birthday wishes. This book was made of different fans birthday wishes for him. It was then shipped to him as a gift from his fans.

We are taking this idea a step further. It's not for a specific person it's for the entire cast and crew. And believe it or not and I know it's hard to believe there are ways of getting things like this to someone who is a member of the cast/crew. We are looking at three possibilities right now Hart Hanson, the creator; David Boreanaz's Reps; Eric Millegan has an official website we will email. Plus we have announced this to over thirty websites that support the show and they are working to help us find the best, legimate shipping address so that all our hard work is not wasted.

On top of sending one to the cast/crew on will be sent to FOX. We want FOX to know how much the show is loved and hopefully it will push them to promote the show better. We have also picked three other media outlets that we are in the midst of trying to contact so that we can send them a copy of the book for media coverage on the show.

This book is going to be handmade by Cheryl who is heading up the project. I'm Crystal I am helping with printing and shipping your contributions to Cheryl. Oti is also doing half the printing and shipping it to Cheryl. We have all worked on sending out a mass email to 38 resources, not including the online forums, and lj communities. We want this to be big and successful. We want every possible fan out there to have the opportunity to participate.

What the actual book will look like in the end has not been determined as of yet. We know we will be using better paper than your normal print paper so that there isn't any ripping going on. We also know that through out the book we will have quotes about the entertainment business, random reviews from critics and fans. For example...

“The heart and soul of network programming is series programming, the weekly repetition of characters you like having in your house.” Dick Wolf

“Boreanaz and Deschanel stir good chemistry as a crime-fighting duo.” Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

“I love the technology in this show, and I absolutely love the bonds between the characters.” Random Fan, TVsquad.


Hopefully that clears up any and all confusion and encourages you to participate. We are not an stalkers we are simply giving credit where credit is due it really is hard these days to find fantastic entertainment like BONES. And with series getting canceled left and right is can't hurt to show the love.

Guidelines of the contributions and an email can be found on the profile by clicking the "About" link to your right. We'll be updating soon!

-Cheryl, Oti & Crystal

Fox forum buds you might recognize our names better on the profile page we have them listed there.

Yes please do. You could even ask the owner about doing that once a week since it's only for the month of October :D

Well, I am the owner of the community. Since its a graphics and fan fic community, I can only make a single post about it and throw it on the affiliation page. But it would help some.

Do you have an email address that we can add to our Bones Project email list? This is being used to send out any updates or news. Just send it to our gmail account and I will get your site included. We should be sending an update here soon too.

Great idea! But personally, I'm a little confused. What exactly are you guys looking for from the fans?

Anything. It can be a graphic that you created in honor of the show. It can be a two sentence thank you for good entertainment. It can be a poem about the show. For example mine is about being a parent to five kids and appreciating 60 minutes of good entertainment for my "me time" b/c good entertaiment isn't easily found. It can simply be "thank you" signed with your name and general location if you like.

Over at the boneyard (the fox bones forum) members are helping each other out with ideas. Here is a link that you can read about it, you will have to register (free) to reply back though.

http://forums.fox.com/foxbones/messages?msg=3768.1

When you get to that link you'll see a thread title, "CAST/CREW APPRECIATION BOOK FROM FANS" as you scroll down you'll see different replies and when you reach the bottom you will see the option to go to other pages of the thread around page 141-149 is where members started posting about ideas for contributions and offereing help. Need more help let me know and if your familiar with the forum sorry for my needless direction lol.

Oh, one more question: if I were to do something with graphics, are we talking something original, or are we treading on copyrights and using images from the show, etc.? Also: is it okay if we mention the fact that we, as fans, make graphics or write fanfic that technically infringe on copyrights?

I honestly don't think it's anything bad to do on either. You aren't making any profit nor claiming it as your own. And I don't think fanfic is or else I don't think they would allow it in their forums, but I'm not for certain. So far all the graphics we have recieved have been made with the bones promotional photos. Technically I can't say 100% for sure, but I can say I highly doubt anything will be said when they get the book and if something is I'll back up anyone 100%, not that I'm of any importance lol but you know what I mean.

Does any of that help lol

Let's see, you can really contribute anything you would like. It can be a simple note giving thanks, a graphic with your thanks, or simply a Bones graphic. It is really up to you! Our only requirement is that it prints onto a 8 1/2 x 11 page size. I am not sure where you are at but if you are in the UK, it would be A4 paper size. If you are somewhere else, let me know and I will try to find the equivalant.

Here are two links that may help you further:

1) Link to the UNFINISHED book. This is all the contributions we have received up to Nov. 2nd (an updated link should be up soon!).
http://www.4shared.com/file/5184773/de99ce4b/bones_appreciation_book.html

2) Link to the Bones forum (aka the Boneyard) where there is a discussion/help with ideas.
http://forums.fox.com/foxbones/messages?msg=3768.1

Hopefully, this helps. If not let me know and I will see if Crystal or Oti can explain it better.
